It is not true! One bent, one multiplebent, and two have noticeable cosmetic curb.

If so, its a real shame he was trying to screw over another member. I'm looking for 18's but not willing to pay what he's looking to get (which is more than he bought them used)

I am stupid, and didn't do search... 
Here is the story:
After I paid him $1900 for wheels shipped, he emailed me that one of the wheels was damaged during removing tires, and he would reimbuse me $100 for it. I asked him to send me pictures with that "small" damage before shipping. Instead of sending me picture, he told me the damage is just cosmetic, not noticeable, nothing wrong with structure. He promised me that I must be very close to see that minor damage. Ok....
After I got these wheels,
Obviously, two are bent! Not noticeable??? 
Other two have some surface curbs! :v :v :v I brought them to a repair shop, and they confirmed one is bent, one has multiple-bend, and they will cost me $295 to repair. I emailed him about the problem, he told me I should ask FedEx to pay the repair. 
I have no idea how FedEx made these damages with intake boxes, how a tire shop damage a wheel like this? He started to make excuses... ya, I put them to my C32 after I have posted Ad... $1900 is way cheap... I am busy... They were in excellent condition when I posted the Ad...
Here are the pictures....

I knew something was strange about how he wanted to dump them. That explains why he switched tires too (after he blew them out from hitting whatever bent those wheels)
I hope you got your money back from that little *****

Dude.. that sucks.. I almost made an offer on these myself.. There is no way those rims would get damaged like that durring shipping if the boxes were intact. Even if they were I'm sure he would be liable for crapping packaging. Shipping companies don't pay for damage if the packaging sucked, which doesn't even appear to be the case.
It's amazing that he would try to sell these bunk *** rims for over a year even without budging on the price. He was even trying to sell these for more than he paid. People like this really **** me off..
Good luck!

I tried to start a claim with Paypal, but, they told me the buyer protection is only useful, if I don't receive the products.
I leted him use FedEx for shipping...

I tried to call him several times, no one has answered.
Anyway, thanks for your input! I really appreciate!

CD changer which arrived DOA. I was also just reimbursed $160 for PDA
which was received not functioning (though seller claimed it was when
shipped). I was refunded about $250 for another PDA 2 yrs ago. All these
were through Paypal dispute resolution service...all received but condition
was not as seller advertised. That was the foundation of my 3 complaints.

The following is the message I got from Paypal:Thank you for contacting PayPal. You may want to contact the website where you purchased the item through and see if they have any buyer protection to offer. Unfortunately, except on eBay, we do not cover items that are received but not as described. Any website other than eBay, the buyer complaint process covers non-receipt only.

ah!....the fine print. i get it now. sorry you had to experience and go through
such a nightmare. all mine were ebay. i guess i can see their angle as well. with Ebay, folks sign up with some oversight and credit card...blah blah. then they go through this again getting a Paypal account. with payment through Paypal but un-predetermined seller, i guess the seller's credentials could be all over the map. I could be paying someone via Paypal who could be using a roaming yahoo.com account, unverified, etc. understandable business caution, though it does little to ease your situation. sorry to hear, man.
